| Hands on with the P800 PDA-killer - 11:19am | 29-Apr-2002 |

convinced me that I need to get this guy when it comes out.
Handspring's fine Treo communicator had Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal hyperventilating recently, with Walt describing it as the best phone and the best PDA he'd ever used. It probably is.
